CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF cup. Unattributed. Ca. 500 (Ure).
CAVI Subject: Int.: upper part of a male head; above it, part of the reserved tondo margin
line.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: above the head, along the margin: [--]ς Ευθυδ[--]{1}. Below, horizontal
and retr., directed toward the male's forehead: [--]εστ^[--]?{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley supplies: [καλο]ς and Ευθυδ[ικος(?)], but there are other
possibilities: [--]ς could be the end of a name; the gap makes the connection
with the following name somewhat uncertain; that name could also be different
(see above). {2} there is said to be room probably for only one letter at the
beginning, whence Mrs. Ure (apud ARV[2]) suggested [h]εστ[ιαιος]. The problem is
that the letters run into the face of the figure, hence perhaps [h]εστ^[ιαιος].
The inscription abuts the head and could continue on the other side or turn
around along the face or turn back in end-boustr.
CAVI Comments: Good lettering. Mrs. Ure says that the only notable Euthydikos is the
dedicator of the famous kore. LGPN ii does not list this vase and has:
Ευθυδημος, Ευθυδικος, Ευθυδομος (4th cent. and later), and Ευθυδοτος.
Ε[υ]θυ̣δικος is found on a psykter by Smikros, Malibu 82.AE.53, AttScr (1990),
no. 407. For [--]εστ[--], Mrs. Ure suggests [h]εστ[ιαιος], another kalos-name
(manner of Euthymides: see ARV[2] 1580 and 1583).
CAVI Number: 6875
